cretan olive oil

“If the Mediterranean is the world’s olive grove,
then Crete marks its heart.”

Kolymvari of Northwestern Crete:

Renowned geographical region, acknowledged by the
European Union for its quality production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

We welcome you to the paths of a fresh concept, a philosophy in itself:
that of Terra Creta SA and the people behind it.

Quality!,   Safety!,  Hygiene!

These are the three principles that illuminate our path
leading to cretan olive oil products intended for the most demanding consumers.

 

FACTORS THAT SET US APART:
  • Consistent, unparalleled quality: Throughout its history the same region of Kolymvari, has been producing the same variety of olive crop (the Coronian olive) employing the same methods of cultivation and harvesting - an unaltered tradition bequeathed from generation to generation.

    The result: the highest and most constant quality of produce.

  • An innovation in itself is that every consignment of cretan olive oil is automatically labeled as to the particular elements that define its quality. We thus inform our consumers, enabling them not only to assess it by the highest standards as ordained by the EU, but also to compare it against any other corresponding products. more…

TERRA CRETA S.A. - Cretan Quality Olive Oil


As an introduction to the profile of our firm and its products, we quote a passage by olive-tasting connoisseur, Kersten Wetenkamp, as published in the esteemed German gastronomical magazine “Der Feinschmecker” (8/2005 issue) about our cretan olive oil:

“The state-of-the-art-equipped firm of Terra Creta S.A. sets new standards of quality in the production of olive oil in Greece. The harvesting methods of the olive crop at the most suitable moment of the year in the renowned region of Kolymvari and its pressing process in hi-tech installations beget such olive oil that has astounded the committee of taste specialists. One’s experienced and refined sense of smell perceives a plethora of fragrances, ranging from grass and wild herbs to the blossoms of oranges, lemons, of unripe tomato, wild garlic and vine leaves. An astringent nuance and a spicy finish exquisitely fulfill the taste.”
